Why is Sergio vegita (spelling?) wearing a yellow EF Jersey and yellow helmet? He’s not in the lead and EF is normally bright pink right? He literally looks like the yellow jersey.

It's not mandatory but the team that leads the general team classification usually wears a yellow helmet. If a rider has also won a national championship, they get to wear that countries jersey instead of the team uniform.

Just to add a bit more info on yellow helmet when EF isn't leading team classification: Higuita has been wearing the yellow helmet all season to match his jersey, Caicedo has been doing the same with the Ecuadorian Champs jersey. Here's Caicedo at Tirreno-Adriatico this week (extremely impressive pulling EF & Woods for his stage win):
